Mutual Scritichin'

Mom know the purrfect places to scritch to achieve
a relaxed elevator from me and I like to show her
how much I appreciate these by purring and then
I like to headbutt her and lick her hand as thanks
It is a good way to show some positive reinforcement
with and let her know how much I love her and
get additional pets. I give little licks to Mom's hand
while headbutting her as this is a way to express
happiness with the scritches.
Of course when there is mutual scritchin' there are
rumbly purrs of contentment.  It is one of my favorite
things to do with Mom.

  13. You are very generous kitty with an altruistic streak! I nefur worry about rewarding my Human for scritches or brushies. Just my allowing her to touch me at all is reward enough as far as I'm concerned. (I don't bite her, though, like CK does!) I am not THAT mean!

  17. A little love bite every once in a while works too! And then they have something to smile and talk about.

  19. We agree - we have found humans to be (for the most part) eminently trainable in that manner!
